Altibase offers an automation tool: Migration Center. It migrates various kinds of data objects from sources to target databases and ensures 100% data integrity and consistency.
Migration Center
Migration Center is a database migration tool that copies compatible database objects and data from other databases to Altibase. Manual tasks of database migration are complicated, time-consuming and prone to human error. Migration Center helps users to process database migration with a few mouse clicks in the Graphic User Interface (GUI) mode. It also supports the execution of migration using a Command Line Interface (CLI) mode.
Internal Process of Migration Center
Define database source and target:
Source and target database IP addresses and ports
Source and target user ID, password, JDBC driver, character set encoding, etc.
Define data objects to migrate:
Source and target data objects information: table, column, index, view, procedure, etc.
Define migration options:
Selection of options: Thread count, batch size, etc.
Selection of migration scope: User mode and table mode
Data type mapping
Tablespace mapping
Stored procedure converting
DDL Modification
Validate migration rules
Execute migration via rules
Review the report files
RunReport4Summary.html: the summary report file that provides the overall result of migration
RunReport4Missing.html: the report file that provides the list of data objects which were not migrated properly
DbObj_Failed.sql: the list of failed SQL commands and the cause of each failure
Migration Center Advantages
Easy and simple migration from other DBMSs to Altibase
Flexible mapping of different types of data objects
Migration summary report to review the migration result
High performance parallel migration
Manual rule modification
